aideBut I'm not really since I'm updating now. But I'm beat so I'm not going to write much -- especially since I'm going to write another 3hr entry about the whole trip when I get home so I don't want to ruin any surprises.
Kyoto is gorgeous and amazing and I wish I had the time and money to wander around Pontocho and Gion more but it's fucking hot as hell. Hotter than hell. They aren't lying when they say Kyoto has the worst summers in Japan. So bad in fact that Justin fainted today. I have never been so scared in my whole life. I had no idea what to do. I really should take a first aid course when I get back to Canada or find one here. I wonder if the Red Cross does courses in English in Japan. Luckily it was just a bit of overheating and not heat stroke or anything serious. But he smashed his leg pretty hard when he fell on the bench and it's still hurting him. He hit his thigh so I don't think anything could be broken; it's probably just a really deep bruise. Jen? Any ideas? In any case, he can laugh at himself and the situation so that's good. And of course I took a picture afterwards, like he would expect from me.
Kansai has such great food, I'm really living in the wrong part of the country. Tomorrow we're hitting up Osaka -- Dotounbori and Osaka Castle, I think. :D

Date: 2008-08-06 02:33 am (UTC)Yeah, we didn't stay in Kyoto. We stayed in Seta which was about 5 JR stops from Kyoto. Then we had to walk about 25 minutes to our place from the station. So we know how it feels but it's all good. I wish i was back in JAPAN!!!
My friend went to Aiba's restaurant for lunch before we left and talked to his mom. He was so excited! ha ha...i didn't wanna go because i wanted to see Tokyo more.
